💥 Is AI in Mental health app a future? 💥

Question

Hello, community!

We’re just a couple of days away from launching our first mental health product on Product Hunt. We're super excited & hope that our app will help a lot of people.

Life is becoming quite stressful these days, so for the past half-year our team has been working on a product that will really help to deal with anxiety and everyday stress 🙃

We’ve integrated research and educational materials 🤓 into our product and added some commonly used features like mood journal and breathing practices to make it an easy way for you just get the app and feel better 👌.

What do you think, will a mood-tracking app with scientifically-based guides be on demand today?

Would be great to know your opinion!

Let us know when you launch it. It's hard to tell how this could change my life without actually having it in my hand. I will play with it and share my experience.

AI is future of every thing including mental health.

Answer

Im not a developer or anything but I have been a client of therapists/psychologists in the past as well as having my Bachelors in Psych. One thing I read about some mental health apps like BetterHelp & Talkspace is that the app has tracking and is not HIPAA compliant meaning the user’s of the app personal information and anything said, typed, searched, read, did is recorded and could possibly be used against them such as law enforcement getting ahold of such info [which could result in consequences if someone is suicidal, have depressive thoughts about not living anymore, or has homicidal thoughts (but isn’t going to actually act on them, they’re just venting)]. Period Tracking apps are now dangerous thanks to the overturn of Roe v Wade where law enforcement can obtain information about an individual through the app’s compliance with law enforcement. This could lead to incarceration if someone is having irregular periods, pregnant but then not pregnant, miscarried, etc. if they happen to live in an anti-abortion state. For me, it’s very hard to find a therapist that is nonjudgmental and not telling you to do this or that or shaming you cause you’re more open minded and they have different ideas on morals (like having an OnlyFans for example or dating someone who smokes). It is also hard to find a good therapist that takes my insurance or is in my area. Mental Health apps could really help me in this case. Unfortunately, I do not trust them because if I am having suicidal or depressive thoughts (not actually planning to commit suicide), I do not want to hear a knock at my door and open it to see cops. I much prefer confidentiality and HIPAA compliancy, & privacy protection. Here’s an article about period tracking apps and privacy: https://www.popsugar.com/fitness... Here’s an article on the mental health apps that aren’t so private or HIPAA compliant: https://www.consumerreports.org/... And this one which talks about the report above: https://lifehacker.com/do-therap...
